Before I had children, I was one of those crystal clear awake people, because I often got 10 hours of uninterrupted sleep a night. I really like to sleep. Give it a try, people who lack late-night responsibilities! Or, if you really want to stay up late, please come to my house and chat with my daughter about the plot of Monsters, Inc. for half an hour at 3am, so I can sleep.
Everybody plays each other. That's all anybody ever does. We play parts.

It's bad for me, because I'm pretty much a textbook night owl. Most of the day when I'm supposed to be a productive worker, I'm wondering why I'm awake, and when I should be going to bed is when I really start to feel like getting things done. So I blame The Man and his 9-5 slavery for my constant unalertness.
I've been working these hours for almost 8 years in a row, and it's not gotten any better.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
With this job it feels like I'm moving around for my entire shift, which is just as exhausting as sitting at your desk working for your entire shift. And by the time I get home, all I want to do (if I'm not going out) is catch up on the 'net and tv before I have to go to bed by midnight to do it all over again. This sucks!

Don't cancel the gym membership. You'll be able to make it work, and you'll need it while you are job hunting.
Raq is wise.
ita, I'm so sorry this happened...what a jolt.
Given what seems obvious about your skill and consientiousness, I have this tremendously strong sense that everything is going to work out much more quickly than you might imagine. And for the better.
On some level, I believe the Universe whispers and then it screams...until we pay attention. That terrible pain in your head seemed like a Banshee trying to tell you something.
May the next phase of your worklife be interesting in only good ways!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I looove sleeping as well, and do a pretty good job of keeping up on my sleep. I'm not sure if sleep dep affects me so much because I do generally get enough sleep, or if I generally make sure I get enough sleep because it affects me so much! Upshot is, I'd like to go to bed at 9 tonight.

Hec, can I get UI while I'm teaching krav?
And I swear my first thought was "Why is she asking Hec about infections she could get at krav? Doesn't she know if she gets those while teaching?"

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Oh, can I say? Studio 60 was not as cringeworthy last night, since the drama was about producing the show, not making with the funny.
Problems still remaining: D.L. Hughley is not funny, and pretty much anyone on SNL could have made that apology funny off the cuff and Harry is still a Sorkin-style boy-crazy ninny with no self esteem or direction.
